"Sully."

Family:

My husband, Justin, is an attorney at Lukinovich Law Firm.

Culinary talent:

I make a mean spaghetti sauce, and my Italian meatballs aren't too shabby, either. But my husband is the cook of the family, so he would probably say that my best culinary talent is uncorking (and drinking) the wine while he makes dinner.

If you weren't an attorney, what profession do you think you might choose?

A correspondent for "The Today Show."

Favorite restaurant:

Ruffino's, French Market Bistro, Digiulio Brothers, Ichiban, Sammy's . . . it's hard to pick just one!

Community involvement:

Steering committee for Mary Bird Perkins - Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Center's signature funding event, The Taste; Junior League of Baton Rouge; Advisory Board for the Sigma Chapter of Delta Zeta Sorority; BRBF Mock Trial Committee; and McMahon Inn of Court.

Little known fact:

My husband and I spent part of our honeymoon in Vatican City, where we met and received a special newlywed blessing from Pope Francis.

What I like most about my job:

The people -- hands down. I am very fortunate to work in an environment where employees are made to feel respected and appreciated, both for their work product and for who them are as individuals..

Favorite sport:

To do, swimming. To watch, LSU football.
